Send most illegals back
July 1, 2007




I read two articles in the Orlando Sentinel recently about immigration, and for the first time I have read something that partially agreed with me.

I firmly believe we have to protect our borders more than at any other time in history, and not just the Mexican borders, but all means of coming into the United States. I also believe that most of the illegals should be returned to their country.

I am tired of their demands for the same rights as American citizens. They have no rights to social benefits, in particular, Social Security.

I paid into Social Security for 45 years and am now drawing a check once a month, but some citizens think that this country should support illegals with Social Security funds. That is not right, and I will keep writing to my elected officials to protest, but I feel it's a lost cause.

Government doesn't seem to want to hurt the feelings of illegal immigrants, but it doesn't seem to be concerned with the American citizens' feelings.

Send the illegal immigrants home, and allow them back only when they can come legally. The government should give them whatever they need -- a green card or a visa -- but only for a limited time. If they haven't learned English and lived by American rules for one year, back home they go.
